OH A VACATION
Princeton, N. J Nov. . "Very useful
and Important Indeed." was the com
ment which president-elect. Woodrow
"Wilson made touay on tne array of
editorials, statements and declarations
from prominent-persons being published
in various newspapers advocating or
opposing a i extra session of congress
to revise the tariff.
"Are you going to take all these'
Iippings with you on your vacation?"
ne was asked.
"Ob, no," replied the governor. Tve
r( ad them already. The newspapers
-ta!nly are helping me In my listen
in e policy."
'! he attention of the president-elect
was. called to an argument in an edi
tor nl that inasmuch as he had not re
c -ived a majority of the popular vote
:md that since both the Republican and
Progressive parties favored a policy of
protection, therefore, the country had
loted against tariff ' revision.
"That's queer reasoning.' remarked
Mr. Wilson. -"They overlook the fact
tl at many state legislatures went Dem
ocratic, which means Democratic sena
tors, and likewise that there were a
-nut number of Democratic congress
men elected."
Mr. Wilon will go away next week
on a vacation of three or four weeks,
'luring which time he will be out of
rca"i of political callers.
The prtsident-elect took a five-mile
-..ilk csttrday around the Princeton
battlefield of revolutionary days.
He stopped for a few minutes to talk
with Mrs. Anna rackets, 8i years old.

CALIFORNIA IN
ROOSEVELT
COLUMN
Democrats May Carry the
Matter to Courts Cuts
Wilson's Vote.
BRINGS DOWN HIS
TOTAL TO 426
If Wilson has lost Califor-
, as is now claimed, it cuts &
his total electoral vote-' to 426
and increases Roosevelt's to &
S 90. Taft's vote remains at IS. .&
V-
San Francisco. CaL, Nov. 9. Out of a
nuie of uncertainty an entire new tab
ulation, based upon corrected returns
from virtually all county seats, devel
oped these facts:
Roosevelt has a plurality of the pop
ular vote over Wilson that the few re
mote precincts unreported are not like
ly to overturn.
Not all of the Roosevelt electors,
however, may have won. The name of
lieutenant governor Albert J. Wallace,
which, headed his electoral ticket, was
scratched by many voters, presumably
because of his course in commuting the
death sentences of murderers while
acting governor.
The wide discrepancy in the com
plete returns from Los Angeles county,
as compared with the earlier returns a
change that wiped out an apparent lead
of approximately 6000 votes for Wilson
in the state was due in part to a
switch in the method of tallying the
populafl- vote. At the outset, the record
was made up from the vote cast for the
head of eacn electoral ticket. Later,
when it became apparent that many
Progressives had not voted for Wal
lace, the first Roosevelt elector. Pro
gressive leaders demanded of the coun
ty clerk a recbunt in which a vote cast
for any elector in the Progressive col
umn was tallied as a vote for Roosevelt.
The final disposition of California's
13 electoral vo.tes may be decided by
the courts. Democratic managers, in
the announcement of their determina
tion to challenge the Los Angeles coun
ty vote in the event of a Roosevelt vic
tory on the formal count, declared their
action based not only on the alleged
counting 'of Progressive ballots invali
dated by pencil scratches, bet on al
leged errors and irregularities of Re
publican judges of election in exclud
ing valid Democratic ballots.
James D. Pehlan and Rudolph
Spreckels have authorised the state

-MEXICAN AMENDMENT" IN
NEW MEXICO CARRIES.
Albuquerque. N. M., Nov. 9. With
returns from the state practically com
plete, the vote cast for presidential
electors in the state totalled 43,812,
considerably larger than had been ex
pected. The vote was as follows: Wil
son. 17,982; Taft, 15,512; Roosevelt,
7988; Debs, 2024; Chafin. 300.
The precincts yet to be heard from
will not make any appreciable change
in these figures.
Late returns show that the $500,000
bond issue for state roads carried! by a
majority in excess of 2000, while- the
constitutional amendment repealing the
language qualification clause, prohibit
ing those unable to read, speak and
write English from holding state of
fice, had carried by a very close -majority,
probably less than 8.000

Paris Receives Report That

TURKISH TROOPS
GUARD EMBASSIES
Paris, France, Nov. 9. Serious dis
orders are reported to have broken out
in Constantinople where Kurd soldiers
are killing Christians in the GahUa
quarter, according to a special dis
patch from Bucharest, Roumania, pub
lished by the Paris Midi under reserve
Some buildings of the Turkish capital
are said to have been set on fire. '
The banks and foreign embassies are
guarded by detachments of Turkish
troops who are still obedient to disci
pline. Ghazi Ahmet Muktar Pasha, the vet
eran victor of Kars in the Russo-Turk-ish
war of 1ST7 and a former grand
vizier, explained the Turkish defeats.
"The young Turks have ruined all our
army. Formerly part of the officers
came from the ranks and the remainder
from the military schools. The young
Turks did not like that system. They
began by pensioning or finding other
situations for the men who had. risen
from the ranks and replacing them by
youngsters from the military academy.
During three years about 1500 joined
in this way, but all of them were too
y ung and ine tnwienced.
"Our battalions of infantry, which are
S00 strong, had only seven officers ex
perienced at the outbreak of the war.
What could you expect our soldiers to
do without officers and without food,
for we have no commissary depart
ment. They could do only one thing.
They fled."
"Neither I nor the sultan will ever
abandon Constantinople. My sovereign
will await death in his palace; I in ray
office." Thus Kiamil Pasha, grand
vizier of Turkey, has addressed the
ambassadors of the powers.
Kiamil Pasha informed the ambas
sadors in Constantinople that he 'would
maintain order there until the end. ac
cording to a dispatch to the Matin to
day. If, however, tbe Turkish capital
should be occupied by the invaders, the
grand vizier declares that he could not
be answerable for what the exaspera
tion of the population might lead to.
Anything that might happen then would
be on the conscience of Europe, he said.

Government Witness Asserts Secretary Hockin, of Iron
Workers, Threatened to Boycott Him for All Work if
He Did Not Accept Commission to Dynamite Struc
ures Where Nonunion Labor Was Employed,
Indianapolis, Ind Nov. 9. For the
first time in public since his arrest 19
months ago, Ortie E. McManigal relat
ed at the trial of the accused "bomb
plotters" today his experiences as a
hired dynamiter.
The confessed accomplice of the Mc
Namara brothers, as a government wit
ness, directly accused Herbert S
Hockin, now international secretary of
the Association of Bridge and Struc
tural Iron Workers, of inducing him to
do dynamiting under pay of the union.
He said Hockin had threatened to
boycott him from every job if he re
fused to accept the dynamiting com
mission. McManigal told how for more than
four years he caused explosions about
the country against employers of non
union labor.
At tbe outset McManigal asserted, he
attempted to protect the lives of people
whenever setting off a bomb. At his
first Job in Detroit, June 25. 1907. he
told of pushing a garbage barrel
against the rear door of a restaurant so
the people would not run out and be
injuredor killed by an explosion across
an alley.
Ordered by Executive BoardT
"I had been a member of tlie Iron
Workers' union since 1908," said Mc
Manigal. "In June, 1907, Hockin came
to me while I was working on the Ford
building in Detroit and said the execu
tive board of the union had decided to
clean out the open shop concerns and
that I was the man to do it.
" 'You used to work in a atone quarry
and you know how to use explosives,'
he said. 'You'll be paid by the union.'
"I protested, but he told me that if I
didn't do as the executive board said
he'd see that I was- boycotted against
getting a Job, so I finally consented.

"In my room I prepared three bombs,

I nut one bomb in the fire box of the
boiler in the building under construe- .

a third near the cylinder.
"Joining the ends of the fuse at one
point I lit all of them. They were fixed
to go off at about 1 a. m. It was then

"I again looked about the alley. I
noticed a kitchen door at the rear of a
restaurant opened on the alley opposite
where the bombs were and. thinking
some people might run out at the first
explosion and be injured by the second
or third. I shut the door and jammed
a barrel of garbage against it. Then
I went to my room and waited to hear
the noise.
"It came about 1 oclock. Later I
heard the newsboys calling 'extra.'
"It reminded me I still had some ex
plosives in my room. I didn't care to go
out with a package. That would excite
suspicion. So I took what dynamite I
had left to the bath room and cutting it
into small pieces, flushed it out."
Says Heckla Paid Expenses.
"Did you see Hockin the next day7'
asked district attorney Miller.
"Yes; he paid me $ for expenses
to Bloomville. He said I would be fully
compensated for my work, as the -executive
board had set aside a certain
amount for each job but, he said, I must
keep at it He said I would receive
$125 for a Job at first and I was to
show a newspaper account of each ex
plosion so he could get the money for

for me, as it was my first explosion."
continued KdManigaL "I decided to
leave Detroit. I wanted to work and
for them to let me alone, but Hockin
kept after me, saying: 'WeSve got the
goods on you now and you have to keep
at it. for we are going to clean out the
National Erectors' association.'
"I went to Chicago and worked there.
The next February Hockin came lo my
house in South Sangamon street and
said he had a job for me at Clinton,
Iowa.
"I went to Clinton. It was a double
track railroad bridge across the Mlss
issipoi river. I pulled 'off the job
pretty much in the same way. as the
other one. niacins: 30 sticks of dynamite
at various places. One lot of dynamite

"He paid my. expenses and said he

"When I got there Richard H. Houli

handed me an envelope containing $165,
adding a friend had left it for me.
"Hockin' said he was going to keep
me pretty busy after that and he was
going to Buffalo, N. Y., to look over a
job and when I got a telegram signed
'Ping' or "Clark" I was to come. A few
days later I got a telegram saying:
'Meet me in Buffalo and make It heavy,'

explosion occurred in Buffalo July 1."
McManigal testified he met Frank M.
Ryan, president of the union, before dy
namite was talked about.
Chester Krum. of St Louis, for the
defence, objected to McManigal's tes
timony on the ground that his record
as a defendant who had confessed made
him incompetent. The objection was
overruled
Plctare In Rogue Gallery.
"I enclose the photograph which I
took from the gallery." That was the
way Edward Smythe, secretary of an
iron workers' union at Peoria. 111., sent
to the union's international headquar
ters at Indianapolis a photograph of
Herbert S Hockin. member of the ex
ecutive board which had been taken
from the rogues' gallery in the police
department, according to letters pro
duced by the government.
John J. McNamara'! reply to Smythe
as read was:
"That was not the way to send that
photographs of members of the execu
tive board In the rogues gallery put
them in- a separate envelope and mark
personal. President Ryan was pres
ent when your letter came and I told
him he had a fine executive board.'
Hockin. accused by Ortie McMani
gal as the directot- of the flying squad
ron of dynamiters, and now successor
to McNamara. was said by the gov
ernment to have been photographed
in Detroit where he formerly lived.
Caatlened Men to Be CarefHl.
After the loss of life at the Los An
geles explosion and during the six
months before the arrest of the dyna
miters, McNamara wrote letters to
members of the union cautioning them
to be "careful" as to the kind of let
ters they sent to headquarters, it was
charged in connection Vith the read
ing of a McNamara letter to Murray L.
Pennell, of Springfield, HL, as follows:
"Am surprised at the kind of letter
you write. Hereafter be more care
ful, for the Lord only knows who
reads these letters."
The government produced a notice
headed "Warning" and signed by pres
ident Ryan and Hockin which was
published in the union magazine a
month after the McNamaras were ar
rested and the purpose of which the
government alleged -was to induce the
members to destroy evidence about
dynamiting
Accusations that Philip A. Cooley, of
New Orleans, had an iron worker ad
mitted to membership in the union to
do dynamiting and that Cooley
planned an explosion at Houston, Tex
were detailed by the government.
A McNamara letter dated Jan. 10,
111, to Cooley was read: -

ARBITRATION ONLY
CAN PREVENT STRIKE
Arbitration is the only thing that will
save the G. H. A S. A. from a strike of
its trainmen and yardmen, local rall
road men say. A poll of the road has
been taken on the question of strike or
no strike and the vote is said to have'
shown a 90 per cent majority in favor
of the strike. The grievance of the
trainmen and switchmen is that the
terms of the old contract are not to be
incorporated into the new contract and
unless this is done the men swear
that threy will strike. ,

GET WHAT YOU WANT.
Bji WILLIAM JOHNSTON.
(In American Magazine.)
ET what you want in this world. It's here waiting for you. Ail you
f -. have to do is to reach for it. If you reach hard enough and far
enough and long enough, you'll get itj no matter what it is you want.
Suppose you are foolish enough to want great wealth. You can get it.
But to get it you must make up your mind that you want wealth, that you
want it above everything else in the world.
Observe an industrious alien with a push-cart. He wants a thousand
dollars. He sleeps in a cellar. He rises at four. He works till ten at night.
He denies himself food to save. Some day he will have his thousand dollars.
"But." yon protest, "I can't sleep in a cellar. I'm above running a push
cart." Very well. then. There's little likelihood that you wiU, ever be rich.
There are other things that you want more than wealth your comfort, your
social position.
Suppose you are more sensible. Suppose that it is success you want.
Good! There are few joys in this world that can compare with the joy of
achievement. Sot your mark and start climbing toward it. You'll reach it
if you keep at it. Be persistent und be patient. If you are in Maine you
can't wish yourself in California. You can't get there overnight either. But
you'll get there sometime if you start and keep going, even if you go on your
hands and knees.
But, remember this: Xo man ever climbs higher than the mark he sets
himself. Xo man ever reaches- the top walking sideways. Xo man achietes
wl i. keeps turning back.
And one thing more:
Pick your apple carefully before you start to climb the tree. Sea
apples are sour.
